Brujx School

Brujx School is ready to take you back to school! 📓✨⠀
⠀
This time it’s all about the Tarot in our next class TAROT FOR RESISTANCE ⠀
⠀
Based on the womanist and q***r liberation theories of Alice Walker and bell hook’s, our magickal Tarot Reader is going to teach us how to use the Tarot for our own personal liberation. Tarot allows you to understand yourself in a deeper level and the energies that are available to you in order to create the future you want to live in! This class will not just focus on your personal development but it will allow you into your power of resistance against the structures that aim to destroy us! This is a beautiful opportunity to use your magickal abilities for real life liberation work! ⠀
⠀
A little bit about the teacher: maria m. is the creator behind Bruja Caribe an intersectional and inclusive space where she offers tarot/oracle readings, herbal goodies and guidance for those looking to dive deeper into the world of divination, herbalism and brujeria as a direct pathway to self-awareness and freedom. ⠀

WHY TIERED PRICING?⠀
⠀
Brujx School focuses on providing brujxs of color with the tools to decolonize their spiritual practice as well as creating a safe space to access their power. Our goal is to reconnect brujxs of color with the spiritual knowledge and rituals colonization took from us. Although classes are available to all, we ask that allies contribute financially to the creation and sustaining of such space.⠀

Day 7: Crystals 💎⠀
⠀
As children of the diaspora, we are not foreign to the use of healing crystals to protect us. We all received an azabache bracelet and mal de ojo protections from our grandmas when we were born. However, the idea of crystals is now associated with whiteness and the new age movement. Because of this, we must be careful and know where our crystals are sourced from. The white “Healing industry” is a 4.2 billion $$ gig that naturally exploits Black and Native cultures around the world. (Don’t buy from Amazon).⠀
⠀
As Mama Badu has shown us, crystals have been in Black cultures since the beginning of time. From the Egyptians to Western Africa, our ancestors have use crystals for healing and protection. This is part of our heritage and so many come from the motherland. Thanks to Nikola Tesla, we have scientific validation that crystals do change the energy around them, and absorb negative energy. ⠀
⠀
You can use crystals for spells, rituals, altars or passive magic by wearing them or keeping them in your pocket. I have made you a list of crystals to use for things that affect us Brown, Black & Q***r folks personally (and almost exclusively).⠀

Welcome to Spooky Season, brujxs! 🍁 October is my favorite month of the year! It is the time when we are the most connected to the spirit world and our magickal abilities. This month, I decided not to pick a theme and instead celebrate this special time by creating the challenge! Every day we’ll explore a different field of magick and share with each other how we apply it into our daily lives. ✨🎃✨
~

I created Brujx School to empower all of us who identify with magick and the power of our spirits but rarely have visibility in the modern mystic world. Q***r Brown and Black folk have a deep connection to spirit and I want us to share it with each other thru this challenge. It’s our time to reclaim our power and bask in our love and gratitude for the craft! ✨🙌🏾✨
~

Use this hashtag to share your knowledge, your curiosities and experiences as well as questions and doubts. But don’t feel pressured to participate everyday!! Only if you feel compelled to share something that speaks to your Brujx heart! ✨🖤✨
~

I want this to live on the internet so all of our non-binary, q***r, trans, gender non-conforming, Black, Brown, immigrant, indigenous, disabled, neurodivergent Brujxs can find solidarity and community in each other. Not every witch is white and able bodied! Let’s break thru the stereotypes and shine a light on our Brujx family! Can’t wait to see what y’all have to share! ✨🔮✨

Hi brujxs!! This month we are going to focus on ritual and s*x magick! We will be collaborating with S*xtember programming for our next class S*X MAGICK. Stay tuned for details. 💋
~

To start the month off, let’s dissect a little known fact about the symbolism of witches. We all have seen the images of the witch flying on a broomstick. It’s actually one of the most commonly portrayed versions of witches. But do you know where the imagery comes from? 👀
~

In the dark ages, women were often denied as s*xual beings. Witches, or those accused of being witches, were often women who did not confine themselves to gender norms. They drank, they had s*x and they did drugs!! Being a “witch” had very little to do with actual magick. They were just rebellious women who the church tried to control by calling them witches. 🚫
~

The idea of a witch on a broomstick came from an ancient practice of consuming psychedelics and hallucinogens. Women would apply the hallucinogenic ointments into their mucous membranes, often their vaginas, to “fly” which was the slang term then and what we now call “tripping”. It was noted that some would use the stick of a broom to insert the drugs into their vaginas. Talk about a two for one! This practice is where the idea of a witch “flying” on a broomstick first started. 🧹
~

At the same time, witches or rebellious women often renounced marriage and refused to be owned by men. Since it was difficult to find s*x as single and “unwanted” women, ma********on was a common release. S*x toys were in their rudimentary stages and hard to come by, so they used broomsticks as di**os. It was the word around town that the “witches” would ride broomsticks all night. This was told first as a joke or insult but as time passed and the idea of the evil witch became pop culture, we took the s*x out of it and kept the image of the witch flying trhu the sky on a broom!💃🏾
~

So next time you ma******te remember that so did our witch mothers! And they did it so often we still remember them for it! S*x is beautiful and self-s*x is even more magickal! 🖤 Go fly on your broom! ~
